+Draft for a command line tool (Linux and Windows) for adding a host to the
+monitoring configuration by calling the tool right on the target machine.
+
+The idea is:
+
+1. Setup a new Linux/Windows box, install the Check_MK Agent on it
+2. Right on that box call a command line tool:
+
+Example 1: Add this host to the Check_MK Server cmkserver.my.net with the OMD
+site mysite.
+
+> cmk-register-host cmkserver.my.net/mysite
+
+Example 2: Specify host tags and a target folder, also activate the changes immediately
+
+> cmk-register-host --tags windows,prod,muc --folder foo/bar --activate
cmkserver.my.net/mysite
+
+
+Commandline options:
+ --tags A,B,C Comma separated list of host tags to add to the host (default:
inherit from folder)
+ --folder F Put the host into that WATO folder (default: main folder). You have
to
+ specify the physical folder path, not the WATO display name
+ --no-inventory do *not* automatically inventorize the host after adding it
+ --activate automatically activate the changes after adding it
+ --user U WATO username to log in with (otherwise: prompted)
+ --password P Password for logging into WATO (otherwise: prompted)
+ --secret S Secret for logging into WATO (for automation users)
+
+ --hostname H Force hostname H (otherwise: read from system hostname)
+ --ipaddress I Force IP address I (otherwise: let Check_MK use DNS lookup)
+ --site S Make Check_MK monitor this by site S (otherwise: inherit from
folder)
